Hi Cathi,

I tried the following and it did not seem to work.

Me.SqlDataAdapter1.Fill(Personnel01_Ds1, "Personnel")
Me.BindingContext(Me.Personnel01_Ds1, "Personnel").Position = 0
If Personnel01_Ds1.Tables("Personnel").Rows.Count > 0 Then
Me.dgPersonnel.SetDataBinding(Personnel01_Ds1, "Personnel")
Else
Me.dgPersonnel.DataBindings.Clear()
End If

The datagrid row position (the row > selector) still was on another position down the grid. Not on the first row.

Any suggestions?

Hope you had a good New Year!

Thanks
Roland
